One of the most popular requests in the Your Kid’s Next Read community<\/a> is for YA novels suitable for tweens.<\/p>\n

Or books for 10-year-olds who want to ‘read up’.<\/p>\n

So much so that Megan Daley<\/a> and I have already devoted an episode of the Your Kid’s Next Read podcast<\/a> to the question and will no doubt cover it again very soon.<\/p>\n

When it comes to the 10+ age group \u2013 firmly in middle-grade territory \u2013 there’s a wide range of reading material on offer.<\/p>\n

Everything from Diary Of A Wimpy Kid<\/a> to the Alice Miranda<\/a> series to Wonder<\/a>, Charlotte’s Web<\/a> and the Percy Jackson<\/a> series are all in this section of the library.<\/p>\n

But if you have a young reader on their way to YA, it can be difficult to navigate. They want a complex story without confronting themes. You want to offer them a more-grown up experience without wandering into adult territory.<\/p>\n

Megan and I always recommend asking for help.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Introducing Emily Gale and Nova Weetman<\/strong><\/h5>\n

\"Emily<\/a>Two authors who tread this delicate path with assurance are Nova Weetman<\/a> and Emily Gale<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nova’s highly acclaimed novels (shortlisted, longlisted, award-winning)\u00a0 include Sick Bay<\/a>, The Secrets We Keep<\/a> and The Edge of Thirteen<\/a>. Megan recommends them often and enthusiastically.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Emily’s middle-grade novel The Other Side Of Summer<\/a> was shortlisted for many awards and it’s YA sequel I Am Out With Lanterns<\/a> also appeared on several shortlists. (As an aside, Book Boy really enjoyed the music aspect of The Other Side Of Summer<\/em> and described it in his review (aged 14)<\/a> as “a bit of a lighter read, this book had some great characters, and a plot that moved along at a steady pace.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Nova and Emily recently teamed up to write Elsewhere Girls<\/a>, a dual-narrative time-slip novel for readers 10+, which Megan and I both loved. Add it to the list below if your young reader is in this age group!<\/p>\n

In addition to all of that, they are both tireless advocates for Australian children’s authors, working incredibly hard behind the scenes in support of others, and have created a creative writing course for kids<\/a> as well!<\/p>\n

So when it came to taking my own advice and asking someone for help to come up with a list of new novels for readers 10+, who else could I possibly turn to?<\/p>\n

Fortunately, for me, they agreed.<\/p>\n

So here, selected by Nova Weetman and Emily Gale<\/strong>, are 15 amazing novels (all published in 2021) for readers aged 10+ (on their way to YA).\u00a0<\/strong>Click the title of each book to find out more about it or to purchase at Booktopia<\/em>*<\/p>\n
